Abstract (en)

[origin: ES8602594A1] In prepn. of dinitroluene (II) by 2-stage reaction of toluene with HNO3 in presence of H2SO4, in which (1) toluene is nitrated to mononitrotoluene by effluent acid from the 2nd stage and (2) mononitrotoluene is nitrated to II by conc. effluent acid from the 1st stage, the effluent acid is conc. in indirectly heated evaporators in a vacuum, and mononitrotoluene is fed to the superheated vapours of the evaporator. - Mononitrotoluene (I) is added as a mixt. contg. I, pref. as part of the organic phase which is sepd. after the mononitrations. In the organic phase of the condensed vapours, the ratio of I:II is 2-10:1 (4-7:1).
